Information gathering is one of the Initial steps of any penetration testing project . Information gathering deals with gathering all the information you can gather about your target . This information might be gathered by doing online searches , phone calls , emails or other social engineering . Doxing is a more comprehensive term that explains guidlines on how this information can be gathered about your target .

What is Doxing?

Doxing is about to get an information about someone ! Simply it deals with the profiling of your target . Whatever information you get by researching your target comes under Doxing . Doxing defines a Step by step approach through which you profile your target . Here are some of the techniques :

-IP Address [80% effective, in my opinion its the best way to dox]
-Email [Not very effective,Useful in getting the victim’s social account]
-Home/Street Address [Shitty,Almost won’t work with you]
-Phone number [You may not get anything from that,Bad way]
-Name [There is 7 billion people in earth,The chances are extremely low to make a site/tool or whatever to determine the person you are looking for]
